Why do people think Biden will solve all of America’s problems?

He won't -- and he doesn't pretend to be able to solve all our problems. We are going to have to solve many of those problems without aid from the government. Some of the solutions will be purely entrepreneurial, and the best thing that the government could do to allow those solutions to emerge is to get out of the way. Some of those are personal choices in morality.

It's not up to our political leaders to get us to give up boozing and whoring and instead learning the arts of civility, developing vocational skills, and starting small businesses. It's not up to them to get us to put money into savings and investments instead of buying the most overpriced gadgets and status symbols. We do that ourselves.

What will be different is that Joe Biden will not be the sick joke that Donald Trump is. That is not an issue of liberalism and conservatism; Trump has treated his predecessor as someone to reject down to his fingernails. Paradoxically I find Obama a liberal version of Dwight Eisenhower, with much the same virtues. Kennedy could reject Eisenhower's style (a reasonable expectation!) without repudiating Eisenhower's achievements and virtues.

Because Donald Trump has few virtues (if any) he will be easy to reject and reverse. That itself will solve many of our problems.

He isnt gonna solve all the problem, pragmatic solutions benefit mainstreet instead of Wallstreet. Trump can win if he did exactly what Bush W did; 2001 after Enron sign campaign finance reform, 2006 signed minimum wage increase, and 2004 make a commitment to lift cap on wealthy to increase solvency of Social security.

Clinton got reelect because he signed welfare reform, copying the other part's stance is bipartisanship not standing your ground and pass partisan Bill's. Thats why McCain, Judd Gregg, John Warner and George Vonovich and Arlen Specter were mavericks

Campaign finance reform? Increase in the minimum wage? lifting the cap on the wealthy as contributions to Social Security? A Republican who offered such would get such passed. It is not only gangland that operates upon the idea "make him an offer he can't refuse".

Republicans are for cheap labor, evisceration of unions, tax cuts favoring the super-rich, and their own entrenched power... regrettably the GOP has become a cadre party.
